BBQ coffee-chili rub blend in a bowl

BBQ Coffee-Chili Rub

BBQ coffee-chili rub is an exciting variation of Texas barbecue, where the deep, earthy flavor of coffee perfectly balances the spicy chili and smoked paprika. The coffee not only adds extra aroma but also helps the meat crust during baking, while the brown sugar caramelizes on the surface. This rub is often used for beef, such as brisket or steak, but is also perfect for flavoring pork or even grilled vegetables. The longer aging time allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat, making every bite a real BBQ experience.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, measure out all the ingredients, ensuring the ratios are accurate. The coffee adds a unique smoky-caramelized flavor to the meat.

    2

    Thoroughly mix the spice blend with a spoon or by hand, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    3

    If using immediately, rub the spice blend all over the surface of the meat, making sure it's well coated.

    4

    Place the rubbed meat in a resealable bag or container, and refrigerate for at least 8-12 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat.

    5

    Before cooking or grilling, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure more even cooking.

    6

    For an even more intense smoky flavor, add smoking wood (such as hickory or oak) to the charcoal during grilling.
